This is the effect of internet on the industry. The artists are actually gaining more popularity because they are able to reach a larger market through the internet. Therefore, their concert sales are up
its cool like this now niggas got to show & prove "again" 'n if they don't sell tickets for their concerts that means there is a big problem with them, period.i like the way it is & i also like no giving my money to labels which develop the crappy sound i don't wanna hear.the more artists go independant,the more i feel happy and you should be too

The top concert grossing acts are all well established acts with years wirk of hits and a great reputation of putting on killer shows. Rolling Stones, Maddonna, Streisand, Dave Mathews Band, Roger Waters, The Peppers etc. And they make so much ebcause they have such a strong fanbase of people over 35 years old tat have no problem shelling out anywhere in between $150 to $400 per ticket.I don't see one new band or artist with low album sales due to the internet even make a dent in the top grossing concerts list. The newest guy is Kenny Chesney but he goes back ten years and still has no problem going multi-platinum. Nickrelback accordng to Forbes made more money on album sales than they did touring last year.
maybe record sales would increase if they MADE BETTER ALBUMS. duh

I don't buy albums because I don't support the quality. I'm not paying 20$ for an album if the artist only gets 1$. Its ridiculous.Also, I would go to more concerts but seriously, 200$ to see Snoop? Concert prices are insane.
